A day off

A have a day off from the schools and I use part of it to update my blog. Last night Cyrena called and we gave each other a bad time about not updating our blogs. But at least I have posted before she has. So now I'm up on her. I should be scrubbing down the bathroom and trying to get this house in better order before Cyrena's family comes for a visit in October but instead I'm sitting here at the computer and sometimes feel like I'm wasting time. I should also be in quilting on Leslie's (Brian and Pam's daughter) temple quilt. I need to have it off this week so I can have it finished before their wedding on the 19th. But then sometimes it feels like that is all I do is quilt. I do love it unless I'm pressured to get one finished, like I am now. Plus I need to get a baby quilt on for Sara. Yes, Sara it will be pink and black to match Charly's room. I have been stalking you on your blog. Sorry it will be a tricot blanket but the babies do love laying on them. Plus I think so do the Mom's.

Today is only the third day off I have had since school started. I'm not complaining though because it will only give me a bigger check to spend in San Diego. I know that I will be working again for the next two weeks. I have to schedule a day off just like a regular job. Sometimes I think it is a little funny. But one day I won't be doing this and I know that I will look back with very fond memories. Last Thursday I covered for Neal Peacock's drama classes. He had us play a game called "Make Me Laugh". The kids had to sit in a chair while the rest of the class, one on one would do something to make you laugh. It is to get the kids to keep a straight face in times of humor. It is so good to laugh. I had tears running down my cheeks for three class periods. How well I remember being on stage and having problems controlling those moments of laughter. It is days like this that I love being in the classroom.

Yesterday we had Danielle and the kids over for dinner. It has been awhile since she has been here and we loved every minute of it. The kids are growing, but it isn't like we haven't seen them for awhile. We took them to dinner last Thursday. But it has been over a week since they have been here. We also took them for a walk down to Grandma's to get a cookie and to show Danielle the new pigs that Marty bought Grandma. The kids love to play with them. As I was talking to Cyrena about the pigs I think she thought that they were real. Kyler has named the little baby pigs, Wilburn, Peter Pan, and Tinkerbell. I guess you can tell what his favorite movies are at the moment. I thought that you would enjoy a picture of them.
